TV-Nihon Magiranger Sub Status News Updates!!

Just so people know, since shuri's gone, everyone had to scramble together and pitch in to fill shuri's spot as timer and typesetter for Magi.

So for those of you who are wondering what the delay is, well, everything is cool, we just need to regather our bearings. I've only been hearing things, but it sounds like the work being done on the new few episodes should be pretty good. Thanks to those of you who have been waiting patiently.

Come rain or shine, Magi will be back on it's weekly schedule next week.

To be a timer/typesetter knowing Japanese isn't necessary. For timing you need to know your way around Sub Station Alpha and how to time from a WAV. For typesetting depends, if you're doing initial stylings then that requires taste and having lots of fonts to work with and being able to mesh colors well enough but not too much. Also requires you to be familiar with some sub station alpha commands. Depending on how fancy you want your stylings to be. I don't know how well TV-N goes by these typesetting guidelines, because I've never watched a sub of theirs. I'm going by my experience with popular/well-known/experienced fansubbers.

Heh it's not the length of the film that's the issue. It's how many lines. Like Sh15uya ep 2 was 23 minutes, however it was 340 lines of dialogue.
